If western sanctions aimed to cripple Russian business, nobody told the country’s fish farmers. In the cold waters of the Barents Sea, Russian Aquaculture, the country’s largest salmon producer has increased production more than six-fold so far this year, as part of a boom in the country’s food and agriculture industry caused by restrictions on western imports. Around Russia, farms, fields, greenhouses and fertiliser factories are thriving as consumers turn to domestically-produced food, helped by the worst relations between Moscow and the west for a generation. https://www.google.ru/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/09632e20-88bf-11e7-8bb1-5ba57d47eff7 |

Robert, if you still gamble in the stock exchange you may consider investing in some Russian food producers, like Jim Rogers.. ![]() I can advise milk then, we're close to overproduction of chicken and pork, as well vegetables and fruits may face tougher competition since we seem to normalize relations with Turkey which was a big exporter of them to Russia, but milk is still very promising, it's a longer term investment and still big part of Russian market is held by Belarus (relations with which goes up and down and ban on its export may also happen) and some others, some Estonia and Finland who were also visible exporters of milk products are permabanned. So, milk is still a golden mine in its early stages. I recall "BUSH LEGS" as we were calling it in 90s , the US exported then huge volume of chicken legs to Russia, with hormones, antibiotics and who knows what other kinds of poisons, but they were quite accessible in times when our agriculture collapsed in hyperinflation and desintegration of Socialist economy in 90s.Fortunatelly those times are gone and now we're going to feed the World, bankrupting the EU and US agriculture in the process...
